Helsinki has great suburbs

It was a pleasure spending five days in the amazing city of Helsinki. When we arrived, we felt at home from the first moment. Helsinki is full of details from Finnish culture, architecture, design etc. We spent some cozy time exploring all of it and we took our bikes for a ride in the city. Since we had no rush, we thought it will be a good idea to explore a little bit of the suburbs.

Greek Ioannis Koulousis & Rafaela Mavridaki visited Helsinki in autumn and published several posts about their stay on Ioannis' popular Instagram account iamjnkstyle.

Here follows a short summary of those photos with 5 tips out of their recommendations in Helsinki:

1) We visited Suomenlinna Sea Fortress and Vanhankaupunginlahti Bay, and we felt really lucky with our choices. The landscapes were so beautiful and we managed to shoot some great aerial photos.

2) As for the time we spent in the city, we discovered the underground tunnel connections between the Central Railway Station and commercial centers and malls in the city. We also found the Moomins to be so interesting and super cute, and they were everywhere in the local shops.

3) We spent some relaxing time in Allas Sea Pool, jumping from the hot sauna straight to the pools.

4) We also visited the new Central Library Oodi, National Art Gallery Ateneum, and modern art museum Kiasma and their exhibitions, and we were amazed by the culture and the forward thinking of the Finnish people.

5) As for the food, we enjoyed everything with berries! Moreover, at Ekberg and restaurant Story we enjoyed good breakfasts before our activities.
